conflict between convenience and ease-of-use vs. security has always been resolved in favor of convenience. However, recent virus attacks against Microsoft Outlook (The NIMDA, Code Red worms, the "ILOVEYOU", "Resume" and KAK viruses) have demonstrated that convenience allows the rapid proliferation of viruses and worms throughout the Internet. Microsoft released a patch that disabled the feature that allows the “ILOVEYOU” virus to work. This is the first time a software vendor has released a patch

There can be optimism, based on a 300% overall rise in access since 2000. Although Africa has the lowest access rate at 6.8% this is the result of a 1600% increase in the same time period.

Adam Smith may not have been the first economist, as he
is sometimes called. But more than any other social philosopher

company will buy another and, as part of the deal's terms, simply allow the acquired firm to proclaim that the action is a merger of equals, even if it is technically an acquisition.

Some companies have been founded with the customer-on-top business model, and customer advocacy has been their strategy—and competitive advantage—all along. With the rise of digital technologies such as the Internet, increasingly informed consumers today expect companies to do more than connect with them, more than satisfy them, and even more than delight them. They expect companies to listen and respond to them.5 When
